Defender Ice Blast is probaly the worst blasting set in the game right now lol.
ice blast on a defender can work.
kat, i can send you my ice/ice dom build when i get back and you can take a look at how i'm slotting things for a few ideas.
basically you're gonna want to go heavy on procs, and not just the dmg ones.
the problem still is that defenders don't get hiber and you're gonna have to sacrifice perception in order to make one work. i'd really go with an ice/cold corr if i had the option (assuming you're set on ice blast). sonic is still the mother of all corruptor primaries though. stunning a emp mid spike is essentially the same as a cage.
at the same time, defender power boost + benumb coupled with a good emp that can keep perception and heals on you, means there's a good argument to be made for using a cold/ice defender in an OPTIMAL teaming situation (which is rarely the case at kickball).

I am set on the defender only because I already have one at 50 and the idea of leveling up a toon any more is very ehhh to me. I typically don't pl and the few toons I have had pl'd were pl'd by people no longer in the game. So I am trying to work with what I already have for a while until I find some renewed interest in pve'n or until I can haz new friends who will pl me.

I don't have Tactics on my Blaster and i have no problem. So going with defender with phase would be fine.|

Not necessarily true. As an emp my number one priority is to give cm to the blasters. Second priority is the other emp or therm. Last priority is everyone else. So if the other teams disruption is doing a good job or if I am dieing a lot.....as a blaster your cm would be a priority. The cold however, not so much.|

Of course ideally everyone would always have cm, doesn't always work out that way though.
if your going for a team build on a defender then you can drop fitness to get the leadership but if your going for specifically a team build you can count on cms or em's from a pain dom...you should be able to build a toon without stam and on an 6-8 team vig should give you enough of a end discount and the +'s from the ios (num miracle etc..and geas or ras and abs from an emp). like barrier said - proc out your attacks plus the ice blast hold always comes in handy
So here is my problem. I know all the obvious powers from the pool powers I need to take. I know my attacks I need to take. My question is on my primaries. With all the nerfage to slows and buffs etc I am not sure which I should / shouldn't take. So in order of importance which should I take on the primary? Also is either of the freeze rays worth taking if I have room?
